>The Letdown of Writer Magazines

>I’m like a kid in a candy shop when my new magazine has arrived in the mail – whether its the Kraft Cooking magazine, Writers’ Digest, The Writers, or any other ones I love to get. I’m not a magazine junkie but I’m close.

But there’s one thing I hate the most – when the magazine I’m been drooling over receiving lets me down.

That happened tonight. There wasn’t one article in there that I enjoyed, that I could apply for me, some nugget of truth I could find. Not one. And it made me realize something – maybe I’ve outgrown that magazine. Like when I used to LOVE getting the Victoria one in the mail – OMG I loved that magazine – but eventually I grew tired of it. That decorating style no longer suited me. Maybe it’s that case right now. Which is sad. Almost like going into my favorite candy shop and finding out they sold out of my favorite candy.

>OMG, that happens to me! With Victoria too! I used to eat up every issue and now?? I've gone years without looking inside an issue and I haven't missed it.I'm in the market for a new subscription if anyone has one they LOVE!

>I'm wondering if they'll all go the way the newspapers are heading. We can find such helpful content on the internet for free why subscribe to all this stuff and waste paper? (Spoken by a former newspaper AND magazine junkie)

>Steena, that has happened to me with every magazine subscription I've ever had. After about five years, I notice a pattern of the same information repackaged with a different title.There is a stack of Oprah magazines six months high on my dresser, unopened. Now that I work at the library, I just tell myself I can take home last month's issue when it begins circulating. I never do.
